Watch Heath Herring';s Tough Love on UFC.com

I love that the UFC will promote its fighters in just about any manner possible.

And while the name Heath Herring (26-11 MMA, 0-0 UFC) may not register all that well with your average UFC fan — even though it should, and soon will — a legendary video featuring the UFC heavyweight newcomer is sure to endear him to the masses. In fact, the UFC is so sure of it, they’re allowing you to watch the video for free on UFC.com.

The story goes a little something like this.

Herring, who’s fought primarily in PRIDE during his 10-year career, was set to face Yoshihiro Nakao at a K-1 2005 New YearÃ¢â?¬â?¢s Eve show. However, Nakao got a little too friendly during the stare down, and the rest is history.

To find out why the bout was eventually ruled a no contest, visit UFC.com or click on the image above.

And don’t forget that you can catch Herring’s UFC debut this Thursday at UFC Fight Night 8. His bout with undefeated Jake O’Brien (9-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) will be part of the national broadcast.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
